    Abstract Viruses are obligate parasites that depend on the host cell machinery for their replication and dissemination. Cellular lipids play a central role in multiple stages of the viral life cycle such as entry, replication, morphogenesis, and egress. Most viruses reorganize the host cell membranes for the establishment of viral replication complex. These specialized structures allow the segregation of replicating viral RNA from ribosomes and protect it from host nucleases. They also facilitate localized enrichment of cellular components required for viral replication and assembly. The specific composition of the lipid membrane governs its ability to form negative or positive curvature and possess a rigid or flexible form, which is crucial for membrane rearrangement and establishment of viral replication complexes. In this review, we highlight how different viruses manipulate host lipid transfer proteins and harness their functions to enrich different membrane compartments with specific lipids in order to facilitate multiple aspects of the viral life cycle.

    Abstract The use of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in biomedical applications is limited due to their inability to disperse in aqueous solutions. In this study, dispersed -COOH functionalized CNTs with N-succinylated chitosan (CS), greatly increasing the water solubility of CNTs and forming a uniformly dispersed nanocomposite solution of CNTs@CS. Coupling reagent EDC/NHS was used as a linker with the -COOH groups present on the N-succinylated chitosan which significantly improved the affinity of the CNTs for biomolecules. Myoglobin (Mb) is a promising biomarker for the precise assessment of cardiovascular risk, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, hypertension and several types of cancer. A high level of Mb can be used to diagnose the mentioned pathogenic diseases. The CNTs@CS-FET demonstrates superior sensing performance for Mb antigen fortified in buffer, with a wide linear range of 1 to 4000 ng/mL. The detection limit of the developed Mb immunosensor was estimated to be 4.2 ng/mL. The novel CNTs@CS-FET immunosensor demonstrates remarkable capability in detecting Mb without being affected by interferences from nonspecific antigens. Mb spiked serum showed a recovery rate of 100.262 to 118.55 % indicating great promise for Mb detection in clinical samples. The experimental results confirmed that the CNTs@CS-FET immunosensor had excellent selectivity, reproducibility and storage stability.

    Abstract In this study, we developed a label-free and ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor for the detection of transferrin (Tf), an important serum biomarker of atransferrinemia. The biosensor was fabricated by using glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) via electroless deposition. The electrochemical characteristics of the GCE-AuNPs biosensors were characterized using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis. Differential pulse voltammetry was used for quantitative evaluation of the Tf-antigen by recording the increase in the anodic peak current of GCE-AuNPs biosensor. The GCE-AuNPs biosensor demonstrates superior sensing performance for Tf-antigen fortified in buffer, with a wide linear range of 0.1 to 5000 μg/mL and a limit of detection of 0.18 μg/mL. The studied GCE-AuNPs biosensor showed excellent sensitivity, selectivity, long-term storage stability and simple sensing steps without pretreatment of clinical samples. This GCE-AuNPs biosensor indicates great potential for developing a Tf detection platform, which would be helpful in the early diagnosis of atransferrinemia. The developed GCE-AuNPs biosensor holds great potential in biomedical research related to point of care for the early diagnosis and monitoring of diseases associated with aberrant serum transferrin levels. These findings suggest that the GCE-AuNPs biosensor has great potential for detecting other serum biomarkers.

    Abstract Dieulafoy's lesion accounts for 1%-2% of acute gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding cases, and approximately 2% of Dieulafoy's lesions are present in the colon. We report the case of an 83-year-old female who presented with recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding from colonic Dieulafoy's lesion located at the hepatic flexure. She initially presented four weeks prior with melena in the setting of Eliquis use for venous thrombosis, coronary artery disease, and end-stage renal disease. Upper endoscopy revealed esophagitis, gastritis, and duodenitis. Diagnostic colonoscopy and video capsule endoscopy both revealed blood in the colon without an identifiable source. During the second admission for recurrent melena with hemoglobin of 3.9 g/dL, Eliquis was discontinued, and the patient was resuscitated with three units of packed red blood cell transfusions. Repeat colonoscopy revealed a pulsating vessel with active oozing located at the hepatic flexure, consistent with a Dieulafoy's lesion. Hemostatic endoclips and bipolar electrocautery were applied to achieve complete hemostasis. Colonic Dieulafoy's lesions, albeit rare, should be considered in patients presenting with an acute obscure lower GI bleed. Primary hemostasis can be achieved with several endoscopic modalities including epinephrine, hemoclipping, thermocoagulation, or sclerotherapy.

    Abstract The paper assesses its relationship with firm innovation and Organizational performance in a single integrative model by using spss data set of 53 Pakistani SME’s firms. A questionnaire of self-administrative is developed to collect the data. Researcher personally visits of different SME’s firms and collect the data from manager of SME’s firms. The research use 275 questionnaire is distributed in different SME’s sector. In this study the statistical techniques of data analysis are used to investigate and find out the relationship among the Firm performance and the other factors. SPSS version16 is used for reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, regression analysis, correlation analysis, to check either modal is good fit or not. Our results supports a partial mediation effect of innovation performance on the relationship between corporate social responsibility and firm performance, meanwhile the effect of corporate social responsibility on firm performance shrinks upon the adding of innovation performance to the model. The findings may help to understand how corporate social responsibility is an important driver mechanism for companies to be more inventive, proficient and effective.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Thyrotoxicosis is a common medical problem. Thyroid nuclear imaging with either I123 or technetium-99m (Tc-99m) pertechnetate are used to determine the cause. Although I123 has been the standard technique, Tc-99m pertechnetate is now commonly used, acceptable and easier to perform. The commonly used normal value of Tc-99m pertechnetate is 1–4%, but lower normal values have been reported in different populations. OBJECTIVE: Determine normal reference range of Tc-99m pertechne-tate thyroid uptake for thyroid scintigraphy in Saudi Arabia. DESIGN: Retrospective, cross-sectional. SETTING: Nuclear medicine service at tertiary care center in Riyadh. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We used data from biochemically euthyroid patients who underwent a thyroid Tc-99m pertechnetate scan while having parathyroid scintigraphy for hyperparathyroidism between April 2009 to April 2019. Medical records and biochemical thyroid function tests were reviewed and Tc-99m pertechnetate thyroid uptake values were determined for each patient. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Thyroid uptake of Tc-99m pertechne-tate in euthyroid patients. SAMPLE SIZE: 167 RESULTS: The mean and median uptake of Tc-99m pertechnetate in euthyroid patients were 0.86% and 1.0%, respectively, and the inter-quartile range was 0.0–1.0%. The normal reference range in the study population was 0.2-2%. Thyroid uptake inversely correlated with age in females (r=−0.37, P<.001), males (r=−0.46, P=.001), and for all patients (r=−0.39, P<.0001). CONCLUSION: The range for normal thyroid Tc-99m pertechnetate was lower than the standard 1-4% range. Moreover, uptake decreased with age. Further studies are needed to establish the normal age-adjusted uptake for the thyroid Tc-99m pertechnetate scan. LIMITATIONS: Single center and retrospective. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None.

    Abstract Viruses alter cellular physiology and function to establish cellular environment conducive for viral proliferation. Viral immune evasion is an essential aspect of viral persistence and proliferation. The multifaceted mitochondria play a central role in many cellular events such as metabolism, bioenergetics, cell death, and innate immune signaling. Recent findings accentuate that viruses regulate mitochondrial function and dynamics to facilitate viral proliferation. In this review, we will discuss how viruses exploit mitochondrial dynamics to modulate mitochondria-mediated antiviral innate immune response during infection. This review will provide new insight to understanding the virus-mediated alteration of mitochondrial dynamics and functions to perturb host antiviral immune signaling.
